Alice napping with my dog of 11 years, Scout. Scout passed away while I was writing this post.

What is your personal dream? What would happen if your dream came true?

______________________________________________________________________

My mom and I both solve problems, see new possibilities, and are blessed with the Next Big Idea in our dreams. Dreams are very important to me, spiritually–they are like mysterious secrets between my subconscious and waking mind. Unique thoughts that are only told to me. When I was little, I heard an episode of Coast to Coast about lucid dreaming and started practicing those techniques to control, ask questions, and hear answers from my dreams.

Before I go to sleep every night for the last year or so, I have visualized myself in situations that I want to manifest. Giving speeches to ovations and thunderous applause, waiting in the green room on the Martha Stewart Show, walking down a craft store aisle to see a product I designed, seeing Joan Rivers praise a celebrity wearing one of my designs on Fashion Police. Whatever. Maybe it’s narcissistic, but they’re my thoughts and this is my journal, and if visualization and intention doesn’t help people find success, at least it won’t hurt.

My personal dream right now–I have many, but sometimes I like to focus on one at a time–is to develop a relationship with Martha Stewart. I used to just want to be on her show, but now I want to have some kind of deeper connection. I would love to work with her someday, or contribute a product to one of her events, or be consulted as a party planner. A lot of my dreams basically revolve around being regarded as an expert in my field, or receiving some kind of major recognition as an authority in my industry. Why do I want fame so bad? I have kind of always been this way.

If my dream came true, if all of the visualizations and wishing and real work I have done throughout my career came to fruition, I would have a lot more work to do than I do now. But I could probably afford to take more vacations.

While I was writing this post–after I chose that above graphic–my mom contacted me to tell me that my childhood dog passed away. Nobody saw it coming. It’s 4:58 am now and I am going to take a break from this and spend the rest of the early morning in bed. On my way to dreaming about Scout and visualizing her at peace.

    Oh dear me. So sorry to hear about Scout. It’s never easy to see them go. I don’t know if there is a heaven, but I like to imagine that there is and it’s where all the animals go. People have to work for it, but not animals. They just are who they are, right? Someday, we’ll get to see our pets again. That seems like the happiest ever after there could be… Big hugs to you and your family.

    I am so sorry to hear about Scout. We lost a family pet a few years ago, and it was really hard to deal with.

    Anyway, here is my Radvent for today: http://asmallbird.tumblr.com/post/2178985216

    I’m really sorry about your dog, Meg. That’s some rough shit.

    Keep on dreamin’, doll. You seem to get what you strive for.

    I’m so sorry about Scout. Hold tight to your memories. We often don’t realize how close to our furry babies we really are until they are gone. I went with my sister to put our childhood pup down, and we cried both during and after (we were 20 and 24 at the time). We laughed at ourselves that we were so emotional.

    my thoughts are with you, megan. losing a pup [or any pet] is the hardest, hardest thing.
    thank you for allowing me some time to dream today.

    I hope that you and your parents are able to find peace with the passing of Scout.

    I don’t think there is anything narcissistic about your dreams of fame. This world needs people like you to look up to, you encourage individuals to be the best they can be and to give back to the commuity in the process.

    While I am not journaling or blogging durng this Radvent Season, I do spend quite a bit of time thinking about the topics throughout each day and I appreciate the time you have put into this each posting.

    Megan, I love these Radvent posts and have been participating, though not through my blog. I wanted to tell you how sorry I am to hear about Scout though. My childhood dog passed away a couple years ago and it still gets me in the gut sometimes. Brilliant creatures should just live happy and healthy forever :/

    Sorry to hear about Scout. I’m sure he’ll tell all his furry buddies in his afterlife all about his future famous sister :) xoxo
